From Gawker
According to New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, Trump defrauded at least 5,000 Trump devotees, who paid between $1,495 and $35,000 to enroll in Trump's "educational institute." Those students were under the impression that the cost of tuition would include "individual instruction until they made their first deal," because, well, that's what the program promised.
Instead, they were given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have their photograph taken in front of a life-size picture of the blustery Golden Retriever.
We're going to have the best of the best. . . . and if you can't learn from them, and you can't learn from me . . . and these are all people handpicked by me, then you're just not going to make it in terms of the world of success.
. . . We're going to teach you better than the business schools can teach you.

More than 5,000 people across the country who paid Donald Trump $40 million to teach them his hard sell tactics got a hard lesson in bait-and-switch. Mr. Trump used his celebrity status and personally appeared in commercials making false promises to convince people to spend tens of thousands of dollars they couldn’t afford for lessons they never got. No one, no matter how rich or popular they are, has a right to scam hard working New Yorkers. Anyone who does should expect to be held accountable.
~ New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who filed suit Saturday against bogus sham “Trump University,”
They meet on Thursday evening - I get sued by this AG Schneiderman... Saturday at one o'clock. Think of it. What government in the history of this country has ever brought a suit on Saturday? I never heard of such a thing.
...They obviously did it very quickly, but probably Obama - maybe this is a mini IRS. Maybe we have to get the tea party after these people, because this could very well be a mini IRS.
~ Donald Trump on whether Obama gave Schneiderman the idea for the investigation
The president and I have much more important stuff to talk about that Donald Trump. I've never discussed Donald Trump with the president.

Thug Politics. Lightweight hack Schneiderman meets with Obama on Thursday, then brings frivolous suit on Saturday.

See Schneiderman admit he spoke with Obama about “ongoing investigations." http://t.co/9U6Jnxn45F

I hope the NY tax payer appreciates the millions Schneiderman is about to waste on a small case. I will litigate to victory.

The NY AG suing "Trump University" for running a sham "school" should make interesting fodder for Trump's next sham presidential run.

Liberals couldn't draw up a better caricature of conservatives than Donald Trump if we tried. Please GOP, nominate him in 2016.

Irony: Obama's birth certificate is more credible than Donald Trump's University diplomas.

Anyone who would pay money to get advice from Trump at his trumped up "university" (pun intended) really are brainwashed by something.

Anybody think @realDonaldTrump is just a little bit paranoid? I heard he thinks football players are talking about him in huddles. #Trumpet
